MINNEAPOLIS May 23, 2013 ESPN Fitness Champion, NBA, NFL, Pro Bowl Cheerleader, Show Host, Brand Ambassador, Fitness Guru is launching a tour to get your body and mind to release potential power to GET LEANer.

BORN and raised in Chicago, very family oriented, Lorrie Lean knew at an early age that fitness is an important aspect in life. Growing up in a structured family and participating in high school sports, cheerleading, dance, and theater, she began building a stable, well-diversed, fitness foundation. Breaking school records with her track team, she realized the power that positive personal competition can help you excel in anything.

In Minnesota, where she feels is where she grew up, she continued to strive to be her best and worked in various Information Technology positions from computer programing, designing, technical writing, presenting, training users, as well as being a business analyst and project manager. Earning her Bachelors of Science in Computer Information Systems from what is now called DeVry University, she knew that working the mind is just as important as working the body. The technical field was mentally stimulating for Lorrie. As she experienced more interactions with people, she knew that that interaction was where she felt most comfortable.

In her spare time, she stayed connected with her love of sports and auditioned for the Minnesota Viking Cheerleaders. Traveling internationally to Germany and Japan with the Vikings, Lorrie not only showed that she was a great ambassador but also demonstrated great leadership qualities. Always participating on charitable efforts, television, and radio appearances, she was honored and selected as a team captain. With continued team support, she was nominated to represent the Minnesota Vikings as a Pro Bowl Cheerleader. After over six years cheering with the Vikings, Lorrie then auditioned and earned her spot on the Minnesota Timberwolves Performance Team. Participating with other professional cheerleading and performing teams, including the Arctic Blast and the Fighting Pike gives Lorrie the great prestige of being one of the few people honored to professionally cheer for practically all of the teams in Minnesota that had professional cheerleaders. With over ten years of professional cheerleading experience, Lorrie stays connected today with her Minnesota Vikings and Timberwolves alums. You can still see her performing on the home playing fields at special events. Because of her love of sports, Lorrie was one of the pioneers to market the LFL Minnesota Valkyrie, women’s Legends Football League. Knowing what it takes to be on professional teams is just one of Lorrie’s expertise.

As Lorrie learned the importance of fitness, she realized that looking and being the part is more involved than just an appearance, game, or event. Becoming a Fitness Professional, training, coaching, and teaching allows Lorrie to have the knowledge to not just get and stay in shape but get into competitive shape of an athlete. Using her performing background, Lorrie found her next quest - competing in fitness. Competing in over 30 shows in fitness, figure, and bikini, with her buddies, Linda Okwor, Melissa Hall Little, Valarie Brown-Stephens, Kathy Everson, Allison Ethier, Sylvia Tremblay, Katie Uter, Andi Martin, Nicole Moneer, as well as “Biggest Loser” Kim Lyons, Lorrie strived for perfection with each performance. Reaching championship levels locally, receiving the 10,000 Lakes Figure, and Extreme Fitness, and Ms Midwest Fitness America Pageant championship titles to name a few, Lorrie’s highest title to date she feels is receiving the ESPN Fitness Champion.
